One time me and my drinking pals were eating the worst beef jerky we ever had. We looked on the bag and saw we had been eating dog jerky, things got stupid and we finished the bag as a matter of pride... oh yea we lived through it and had a great laugh later.

In the mid 80s, I remember eating dog treats every now and then. It was a Browns thing. They tasted "meh".

Now, on the other hand, there was this stuff that we'd give the cats to help ease hairballs called Kittymalt. It came in a little toothpaste tube and we'd put some on a finger and have the cat lick it off. I absentmindedly licked some off my finger and that stuff tasted damned good.

It's an honest mistake. As a kid we had peanut butter flavored dog biscuits shaped like peanuts, and you'd swear they were just PB cookies. I made the mistake of eating a couple myself before dad stopped me. My uncle was a different story..... They sat and watched him eat a like half a bag of "PB cookies" before telling him they were dog treats.

I've made dog treats for the vet clinic I work for (lots of dogs have allergies it seems) and lots of the owners have tried them. Simple enough recipe1 small jar baby food (I used blueberry)2cups garbanzo bean flourroll thin, cut the shape you want, bake at 350* till doneNot too bad at all.

I remember eating dog biscuits with some of the other kids from the neighborhood when I was small. I can't remember what they tasted like, but I did it a few times, so they couldn't have been too terribly bad. I lived.

vicioushobbit:My roommate was baking cookies and I asked if they were dog biscuits , or just people cookies shaped like dog stuff. She worked at an animal shelter , so I figured fund raiser or something.

She said they are dog AND people cookies, so I tried one. Damn dog biscuit. Spit it out, she laughed, and I lost trust.

We were never quite the same after that. I've willingly eaten dog food and fish food as a kid, but at least it was my choice.

I had a friend offer me a Combos, and after I bit into it and spit it out, told me it was a dog treat. It tasted horrible, but at least he had to clean it up when I spit it all over the kitchen. We didn't really hang out after that.

I worked with a nice lady who told me that her parents were really strict about the food in their house. They would lock all the food up so that the kids couldn't access any of it unless they said so. The only thing they didn't lock up was the Milkbones for the dog so her and her siblings ate them all the time.

//if your kids are so hungry, they are eating milk bones and you still won't give them food? You mega-fail as a parent
